uhh i try finding a way to stop the music automatically... but i couldnt find anything but i think you have to set this part

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /></select><Br><br /><input TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="darkplay" VALUE="    play    " OnClick="play(document.forms['form'].playlist);"><br /><input TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="darkstop" VALUE="    stop    " OnClick="document.darkplayer.stop(); playstate=2;"></form><br /><script language="JavaScript"><br /><!--<br />var playstate = 1;<br />shuffle = 1;  // set to 0 to always play first song in list<br />              // set to 1 to randomly choose the first song to play<br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

just change:

<param NAME="Autostart" VALUE="1">

to

<param NAME="Autostart" VALUE="0">

... the "1" means "on" or "true"
... the "0" means "off" or "false"

hope that helps
